After his conviction in Manhattan, New York, former President Donald Trump has discussed his future plans and the impact of the trial on his entire family.
“We’re going to be appealing this scam. We’re going to be appealing it on many different things. He [Judge Juan Merhcan] wouldn’t allow us to have witnesses, he wouldn’t allow us to talk, he wouldn’t allow us to do anything. The judge was a tyrant,” Trump said.
“We’re going to fight,” he said. “I’m wired in such a way that a lot of people would have gone away a long time ago. They would have gone away after impeachment hoaxes.”
He expressed gratitude for the support he has received through campaign donations following the verdict, stating that he felt honored by it.
“It’s not that it’s pleasant — it’s very bad for family; it’s very bad for friends and businesses, but I’m honored to be involved in it because somebody has to do it, and I might as well keep going and be the one,” Trump said.
“I’m very honored to be involved because we’re fighting for our Constitution,” the former president said. “I don’t mind because I’m willing to do whatever I have to do to save our country and to save our Constitution. I don’t mind. This can’t be allowed to happen to other presidents; it should never be allowed to happen in the future. But this is far beyond me. This is bigger than Trump. This is bigger than me.”
“Make America great again,” he said. “Remember November 5.”
On Sunday, he addressed Fox News, outlining the potential consequences of being incarcerated and its potential impact on the nation.
In his interview, he expressed his belief that a prison sentence would serve as a “breaking point” for his followers.
“The legal maze that you’re still facing, and they could, a judge could decide to say, hey, house arrest or even jail. It could be faced,” Fox News host Pete Hegseth said to the former president.
“I saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying, oh, no, you don’t want to do that to the press. I said don’t you don’t beg for anything,” he said.
“That could happen,” the former president said of the prospect of him being sent to jail,
“I don’t know that the public would stand it, you know, I don’t. I’m not sure the public would stand for it with a I think I think it would be tough for the public to take, you know at a certain point, there’s a breaking point,” he said.
He also addressed the trial and shared his thoughts on its handling.
“It’s weaponization, and it’s a very dangerous thing. We’ve never had that in this country,” the former president said.
“People get it. It’s a scam,” he said. “And the Republican Party… they’ve stuck together in this. They see it’s a weaponization of the Justice Department of the FBI, and that’s all coming out of Washington.”
He also spoke about how the trial affected his family, including his wife, former first lady Melania Trump.
“She’s fine, but I think it’s very hard for her,” he said. “She has to read all this crap.”
“I think it’s probably in many ways, it’s tougher on my family than it is on me,” he said.
The convictions seem to have had no impact on polling, and following the verdicts, the ex-president allegedly raised over $53 million in what could be considered one of the biggest backlashes in American political history.

Keep praying for Donald Trump and his family. Our Nation is suffering because too many people no longer honor God’s Word or want to know it. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people (Client Nation USA) who are called by My name (believers in Jesus Christ) humble themselves (acknowledge our sins to God 1 John 1:9) and pray (1 Pet 2:9 power) and seek My face (Learn His Word) and turn from their wicked ways (anything that distracts us from focusing on Jesus Christ), then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will restore their land.
